A few handfuls of dried fruit: currants, blueberries, or cranberries.

Preparation

Dry Mix Prep:

  1. Optional: rise your grians, nuts, and seeds with water in a sieve.
  2. Toast your grains, nuts, and seeds in a large pot on medium to high heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Transfer mixture into a food processor to grind the nuts, seeds, and grains.
  4. Transfer mixture into a bowl. Add a few tablespoons of cinnamon and your dried fruit.
  5. This mixture can be store in an airtight container for a few weeks.

COOK:

  1. Fill a pot with grains and water using a 1:2 ratio (1 cup cereal to 2 cups water, for example). Add 1 tsp. salt per 1 cup cereal. Add 1 T. fat to prevent cereal from sticking to the pot.

  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat & cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Serve! Add fresh seasonal fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, and/or milk.

  4. This can also be made in a crockpot overnight on a low setting.
